Description
Challenging Mathematical Tasks supports the idea that students learn best when working on problems that they do not yet know how to solve. Peter Sullivan's research shows that many students do not fear challenges in mathematics, but welcome them. Rather than having teachers instruct them, these students prefer to work out solutions for themselves.
